You don’t have to end up like your parents.

Just because you don’t have the marks to prove it doesn’t mean you didn’t suffer through abuse.

Not every year brings about good change. Not every year is going to be one to remember. Not every year is full of accomplishing goals and finding yourself.

You don’t get to take one part of me and leave the rest behind.

Don’t worry, I see you.

He doesn’t focus his attention on you when you’re together.

It’s turning wounds into scars and knowing that it’s okay to have marks on your skin, showing all that you’ve been through.

Then, you will want to change again.

ESTJ: Love will cause you to slow down and think about your significant other.

I understand that relationships take work, but this work should consist of compromise—not the compromise of your self-worth.

Sometimes, you touched me a little too rough.

Aries: They can’t get over you, because you brought passion into their life that could never be replaced.

You will have lost her and you will feel her “too much” taken away in all aspects of your life. You won’t even know how you managed before her.

ENTJ: You should have learned that you don’t have to constantly be achieving success in order to be happy and the real joy in life is found in the littles things, like the smell of blooming flowers and the feeling of waves brushing up against your skin.

Know your worth and realize that you don’t need someone who doesn’t.

Not giving a damn about what other people think means to give a damn what you think. It means acknowledging your own feelings and placing worth on them, instead of wondering so much about what others feel—which you can never quite determine anyway.

I love you. I love you. I love you.

The sadness won’t last forever. Yes, there will always be waves. Even though there are times we feel utterly helpless and confused and hurt, there will also be the times we feel like we have made it.
